(I posted this here but I guess it's the wrong place so moved it here)
I'm the developer of the XBMC2 EventGhost plugin.
And I have been working (slowly) on XBMC Events support both Broadcast and JSON-RPC notifications.
So I'm posting this to ask what the status is with the broadcast events support in XBMC 12+, I know the HTTPAPI was deprecated and now removed but I'm sure I read somewhere that the broadcast events wasn't deprecated only the HTTPAPI that controls it. But I haven't found how to activate/control it in newer versions and can't find any current info what the status is.
So why don't I just use JSON-RPC notification only? The problem is that EventGhost is designed to be an always running control program, so I would like to detect when XBMC is started and make a connection to get JSON-RPC notifications. As the broadcast events work just by listening for them in the XBMC2 plugin it seems the perfect way to find out when XBMC starts (especially if XBMC is run over the LAN).
Is there another way to detect when XBMC starts over the network? So I can make a connection.
So hopefully someone bothers to answer as both this and this other post about this never got any replys.
